They do not define the Trump campaign anymore than Antifa or MS-13 gang members define the Democrats. That's how stupid people think. Are you stupid?QuoteRacism elected trump; deal with it:Go ahead and believe that. Tell all the voters in the Rust Belt who switched from Obama to Trump that they were racists. See how well that goes. Put your money where your mouth is and share your comments about Koreans with the people you volunteer with on the campaign. See what they have to say. And film it.You won't. We know you're just talk.

Racism elected trump; deal with it:
I don't stand shoulder to shoulder with racists and white nationalists.
Or a lot of the folks who voted for Obama stayed away and more angry white racists and evangelicals went out to vote.

A lot.Here's a hint: I don't think "white supremacist" is an option on the census form.

My post was on topic.Show me your data.

Either provide a quote or change the post to make clear you're taking the piss out of me (a simple emoji, and I won't have a problem), or delete it. If not, I will flag it. I really don't want to. I'd be happy for you to claim I'm a racist and white nationalist and all that- as long as its done in the tone of banter.

RACIAL RESENTMENT Using this and other data, political scientists have argued that racial resentment is the strongest predictor of whether voters flipped from Mr. Obama to Mr. Trump, and the biggest driver of Trump support among these voters.Yes, racial resentment is the strongest predictor of the Obama-Trump vote in this survey data. White, working-class Obama voters with racially conservative views were very likely to flip to the Republicans. For example, Mrs. Clinton won just 47 percent of white Obama voters without a college degree who disagreed with the idea that “white people in the U.S. have certain advantages because of the color of their skin.” In contrast, she retained 88 percent of white Obama voters without a college degree who agreed that white people have certain advantages.
QuoteDonald Trump has disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles, the 2018 Super Bowl winners, from a planned White House celebration, escalating his clash with American athletes over protests during the national anthem.The football team was “unable to come to the White House” on Tuesday, he said in a statement released late Monday night, adding: “They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.”Trump’s announcement came after a number of players had said they planned to shun the White House visit. Three of those players – safety Malcolm Jenkins, defensive end Chris Long and receiver Torrey Smith – are part of a group that publicly supported Colin Kaepernick, the NFL player who kneeled during the national anthem to protest racial inequality.Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie reportedly did not want to put his staff in an uncomfortable position over whether to meet the president or not and ultimately decided to send a small contingent to the White House. Had the visit gone forward, fewer than 10 players were expected to attend, according to the NFL Network.In the president’s statement, Trump rejected the offer to send a smaller delegation, saying the “1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better”. Trump said the fans were still invited to the White House “to be part of a different type of ceremony – one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem.” Late Monday night, Trump weighed in on Twitter: “The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House. Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event. Staying in the Locker Room for the playing of our National Anthem is as disrespectful to our country as kneeling. Sorry!”Despite Trump’s statement, Jenkins and Long were not skipping the White House ceremony solely because of the president’s position that athletes should not be allowed to protest during the national anthem.The players have long been advocates of criminal justice reform and have criticized the administration’s policies on policing and racial inequality. Jenkins has said he would “definitely consider” meeting with the president if the visit included a serious discussion of criminal justice reform.“No one refused to go simply because Trump ‘insists’ folks stand for the anthem,” the former Eagles receiver Torrey Smith said on Twitter. He said the president’s statement was riddled with “lies”.“There are a lot of people on the team that have plenty of different views,” Smith said on Twitter. “The men and women that wanted to go should’ve been able to go. It’s a cowardly act to cancel the celebration because the majority of the people don’t want to see you. To make it about the anthem is foolish.”https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/jun/04/trump-calls-off-philadelphia-eagles-visit-white-houseOhhhh, what a baby, and completely unsurprising.

Trump doesn't really want to go to Canada to meet with the G7 leaders because they'll lecture him about being a nobend and ask him hard questions about Iran and trade. All mouth and no trousers seems to be the expression we're looking for here. He'd rather concentrate on his meeting with KJE, which he doesn't need to prepare for, because it'll all be about 'attitude'. What a guy! What a leader!
I didn’t know that you could be impeached for being late to a meeting
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/10/justin-trudeau-donald-trump-tariffs-g7-north-korea-summitI don't even know where to begin with this. He arrives late for the summit, late for some of the meetings and then leaves early before the discussions about the environment. Fob off all your allies, just so you don't 'lose face'. How very Asian of him (and before Martin pops in with the 'saving face' thing, it started in China many moons ago).Says it all. This is what happens when a boy tries to play with adults.
